Rating depth structure for brook trout.

25-acre lake near T8 R10 WELS. The lake tops out around 9 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 25 acres wrapped in 0.9 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Piscataquis County claims this one. If the bite dies, Big Reed Pond is 1 mi to the northeast.
Spring brook trout on Little Reed Pond hold shallow, usually 1 to 9 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 3 to 9 ft in summer, 1 to 9 ft once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 9 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 9 ft | dawn | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
